So You Wanna Be a VJ...
8:00 - 10:00
We're not talking about the guy or girl who's introducing videos on MTV (let's face it they haven't played any music for a long time). We're talking about the VJ who's mixing that sick animation that just happens to match the beat. Join us as we take you through the basics of live-video mixing. Bring your own clips or steal some ours.
